classic cyberpunk!, April 12 2002
By william a. willey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hackers (Paperback)
I just can't believe some of the reviews this book has received. Obviously, these poor misinformed fools thought this was related to something else, or they are completely ignorant of the impact cyberpunk has had conceptually and thematically across all mediums of expression...not to mention the impact on the technologies of those mediums.This is an excellent short story collection...

Misunderstandings of idiots. . ., April 12 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hackers (Paperback)
This book is not a novelization of the movie Hackers, it is a collection of short stories by some of the best SF writers (cyber or otherwise) out there today. Fans of Gibson's Neuromancer "series" will definitely approve, and Sterling is getting better with age if not his exposure to REAL technology. Heavy Weather ROCKED!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for its time, now dated., July 11 2006
By Bryce A. Lynch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hackers (Paperback)
The ideas in the short stories are a bit dated, yes, but I was actually referring to the fact that most of them have been collected in newer, later short story compendia so there is an excellent chance that you've already read a good number of them. Gibson's work, of course, is well represented, as are Greg Egan and Bruce Sterling. One of the few short stories written by Neal Stephenson is in this edition, also. It is easy to see where he began to feel out the structure of the model <u>Snowcrash</u> from this particular story.
For the reviewers who have been complaining about this book, it's a collection of short stories about hackers of various kinds (computer, code, intelligence, even DNA) and not about [ha,cr]ackers as the media usually portrays them.
Listmania!
